Beautiful location, wonderful ambiance, spacious rooms
The four of us had a lovely 8 day stay at Casa Museo A’Rina. Virginia was a gracious and hospitable host. The scenery was spectacular. It was a little cold in the house even with the heater on. For those who like to cook, the counter space was limited. All-in-all, a great spot to vacation: 40 minutes from downtown Catania, an hour from Syracuse, 2hours from Agrigento.

Country house near Etna
My spouse and our 4 kids spent a lovely holiday in this house. It was conveniently located very near to the south entry of Mount Etna. We also visited Taormina and Catania while staying here. The house is in the country and has a lovely terrace overlooking the volcano. We had a wonderful time and the property was just as advertised. We would stay here again.

A beautiful house, and perfect base for exploring the eastern side of Sicily
We stayed at this lovely property mid - end August 2016. It's a huge house with a beautiful terrace at the top looking over the valley and up the hills to Etna. Absolutely lovely, dramatic location, and perfect for day trips to Taormina, Catania, Siracusa, Etna and many other attractions. We had a lovely time enhanced by money off vouchers given to us by the owner Virginia. The local town Belpasso is great for Breakfast at Condorellis and a fabulous meal at Casale del Notaio. Nicolosi nearby is also great for eating out and we found a geletaria on the square that did many choices of dairy free icecream as our little girl is dairy intolerant. We loved our stay, the house was just perfect. Thank you Virginia!!

Una bellissima vacanza nella vacanza
Gli scambi prima del soggiorno sono stati molto utili e la Signora Virginia ci ha aiutato a ben pianificare il soggiorno. Accoglienza eccezionale e grande disponibilità, in particolare durante i primi giorni. Infatti, un primo gruppo è arrivato prima degli altri ed è stato accompagnato dalla stazione di Catania fino alla Casa, oltre che invitato a cena ed addirittura guidato alla scoperta di Siracusa per una giornata intera. La casa è grande e comoda: possiede diversi spazi di vita, dall'ampia cucina al salotto, le camere e la bellissima terrazza ben attrezzata e con vista mozzafiato a 360 gradi. Zona molto tranquilla ed immersa nel verde (e nel nero della terra lavica). La posizione è ideale per approfittare sia del mare che della montagna (indimenticabili escursioni sull'Etna) che delle tante altre ricchezze della zona. I consigli ricevuti sono stati utilissimi: guida all'Etna, bar per la colazione, spiaggie, ristoranti, ecc. Grazie ancora alla Signora Virginia ed a suo figlio Ettore. Non esiteremo a tornare in famiglia o tra amici. La consigliamo senza esitazioni.

An peaceful, warm and authentic place with lovely hosts!
Time stands still in this charming and comfortable country home - this is Sicily in all of its authenticity! A place with a family history that has been preserved including remnants of its winemaking activities and old grape vines. We enjoyed evenings watching smoking Etna and unobstructed views all the way to the sea from the large roof terrace. In front of the property, a herd of goats with bells transports you to another time. Its so peaceful. The owners were exceptional !!! Honestly, we travel a lot but this was outstanding. Our son had an ear infection and they went out of the their way to help in every way. The house was very clean and all facilities were well kept. The only small suggestion we would make to our lovely hosts is that the kitchen could benefit from a few more utensils. This house is for those who prefer authenticity and character to modern design. We will most certainly return!

Camille E., Paris - France

Very disappointing rental
The house does not really correspond to the advertisement. The electrical power (4kVA) of the meter, located 20m outside the house (?), is insufficient for a rental for 8 people, even with a controlled consumption. The kitchen equipment is insufficient. We had to negotiate firmly with the owner to obtain a minimum: extra glasses (5 glasses for 5 people/ not one more), oven dish, tea towels, clothes pegs, iron and ironing board, fan, which were not in the house on our arrival. Not recommended for rental

Bella casa ai piedi dell'Etna
Magnifica casa in ambiente bucolico. Dalla sua grande terrazza lo sguardo spazia dal mare di Catania fino all'Etna, da qui abbiamo potuto ammirare il cielo stellato e i giochi di fuoco del vulcano: uno spettacolo per noi eccezionale! E' possibile riposare in assoluta tranquillita', i letti sono comodi, la casa pulita, wifi perfettamente funzionante. La signora Sinatra ci ha accolto con calore fornendoci molti suggerimenti su cosa visitare durante il nostro soggiorno. Ci porteremo questa casa nel cuore! Grazie !
